Question

An object has moved through a distance . can it have zero displacement lf yes support your answer with an example

Answer 1

Yes, the displacement can be zero if the distance is not zero . For eg. when a body is thrown vertically upwards from level A on the ground and after some time it returns to the same level A , then the displacement of the body is zero but distance travelled by the body is not zero . It is 2h, if h is the maximum height attained by the body .

Answer 2

$\huge\mathcal\color{teal}{Answer :- }$

Yes, an object moving a certain distance can have zero total displacement. Displacement refers to the shortest distance between the initial and the final positions of the object. Even if an object moves through a considerable distance, if it eventually comes back to its initial position, the corresponding displacement of the object would be zero.
